Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): Tart, slightly sour aromas. It actually smells like straight grape juice, with a high concentration of skins. More grape juice type stuff on the palate. It tastes slightly under ripe. Really strange, interesting flavors. Tart finish, almost like some candy. It tastes like Norton or some other North American varietal. Totally weird...

Earthy, with a hint of berries. Slight smoke, touch of spice, and wonderfully integrated, soft, soft tannins. Opened for about 25 minutes before drinking. On the third day of being open, I wouldn't be able to differentiate from a Burgundy.
Excellent with the rosemary rack of lamb we paired it with. Drinking very well, but will develop over a couple more years.

PnP. Color correct. Pleasant ripe red fruit aroma. Ripe flavors abit one dimensional and lacks acid for balance. Weak finish.

Excellent expression of New World Pinot Noir.
